For matrix functions f we investigate how to compute a matrix-vector product f (A)b without explicitly computing f (A). A general method is described that applies quadrature to the matrix version of the Cauchy integral theorem. Methods specific to the logarithm, based on quadrature, and fractional matrix powers, based on solution of an ordinary differential equation initial value problem, are a...

In this paper, the new version of differential quadrature method (DQM), for calculation of the buckling coefficient of rectangular plates is considered. At first the differential equations governing plates have been calculated. Later based on the new version of differential quadrature method, the existing derivatives in equation are converted to the amounts of function in the grid points inside...

this paper presents the application of the generalized differential quadrature (gdq) method for the hydrodynamic analysis of circular and noncircular, two lobe and three lobe, journal bearings. gdq is a simple, efficient, high-order numerical technique and it uses the information on all grid points to approach the derivatives of the unknown function. the effectiveness of the solution technique ...

In this article, element free Galerkin method is used for static analysis of thin micro/nanoscale plates based on the nonlocal plate theory. The problem is solved for the plates with arbitrary boundary conditions. Since shape functions of the element free Galerkin method do not satisfy the Kronecker’s delta property, the penalty method is used to impose the essential boundary conditions. Discre...

In this paper, we have presented the Differential Quadrature Method (DQM) for finding the numerical solution of boundary-value problems for a singularly perturbed differential-difference equation of mixed type, i.e., containing both terms having a negative shift and terms having a positive shift. Such problems are associated with expected first exit time problems of the membrane potential in mo...

This paper extends the application of the differential quadrature method (DQM) to high order (2 3rd) ordinary differential equations with the boundary conditions specified at multiple points (2 three different points). Explicit weighting coefficients for higher order derivatives have been derived using interpolating trigonometric polynomials. A three-point, linear third-order differential equat...

In this paper, vibration analysis of thick functionally graded beam with simply supported boundary condition under constant axial load is studied. The beam has a uniform cross-sectional area and the mechanical properties of the fungtionally graded beam are assumed to be vary through the thickness of the beam. Fundamental relations, the equilibrium and stability equations based on the displaceme...

Differential quadrature method DQM is proposed for the numerical solution of oneand twospace dimensional hyperbolic telegraph equation subject to appropriate initial and boundary conditions. Both polynomial-based differential quadrature PDQ and Fourier-based differential quadrature FDQ are used in space directions while PDQ is made use of in time direction. Numerical solution is obtained by usi...
